Assignment #2

 

 

 Unfortunately, I was unable to do motion picture because I am somewhat camera-less at the moment. :(

 

I like this assignment because I didn't realize that the photos needed editing, but after editing I noticed how much better they actually looked.

 

The photos on the left are after editing, and the ones on the right are before the editing.

 

 

 

I may have gone a little too red on the one above.

I took this motion photograph and decided this one was my favorite because you can see a somewhat clear picture of them standing still but the blur creates a really cool jumping movement.

 

 

I took these DOF photo's of my roommates.

 

 This is my favorite set of shallow and deep DOF because you can clearly see the effects of the different apertures, it has the greatest DOF differences.

 

Assignment #1

Assignment one was easy and tricky at the same time.

It was easy because for the most part all we were doing was desaturating our

photos, yet it got a bit tricky whenever I began changing the contrast.

I couldn't decide what the best brightness vs. darkness was

because I was scared I was loosing too much detail. I also had some trouble

dodging and burning because it kept looking a little too unnatural for me.

 

 

In this photo I wanted my cross to stand out against

the background so I used lasso tool to turn the brightness up

just on the cross, and since I lost some of the details I used my

dodge tool to darken those places again.

 

This is the same brightness vs. contrast as before, only this

time I played with my color levels to create a sepia composition.

 

 

This one is probably my favorite because I feel like I got the

levels of brightness vs. darkness pretty close to perfect. I was able

to get a really great contrast, as well as getting the cross to stand out

from the background, without loosing too much detail.
